Geez, this is so sad!

I don't understand the desparate need for blood. What's going on in addtion to the flu?

A three year-old girl is dying from the H1N1 flu in South Florida right now, and you may be able to help her.

Little Emma Breaux was born pre-maturely, and has a weak immune system. Her family says she came down with the virus on a recent trip to Disney World.

Now she is at Miami Children's Hospital connected to machines, and desperately needs donated blood and platelets to survive.

Her parents are desperate for anyone with O-negative blood and platelets to donate right away.

"I just love her! We want her to come home; if anybody would meet her on a normal day they would fall in love with her," cries Emma's mother Kelly Breaux.

If you match Emma's blood type, please go to your nearest blood bank and donate in Emma Breaux's name.
